I've worked in I.T for 18 years, so I have pretty good industry knowledge.
There are tons of people in I.T who earn under 100k a year. Sure, a top quality uni grad could be earning 100k a couple of years out. Helpdesk, lower level/mid level techs, etc are all earning under 100k.
Sydney/Melbourne wages are higher than Brisbane though, but I.T isn't just a gravy train. I've been made redundant twice, earnt **** wages for the first several years of my career.
